Blending critical theory, conjunctural cultural studies, and assemblage theory, *Making Sport Great Again *introduces and develops the concept of uber-sport: the sporting expression of late capitalism’s conjoined corporatizing, commercializing, spectacularizing, and celebritizing forces.  On different scales and in varying spaces, the uber-sport assemblage is revealed both to surreptitiously reinscribe the neoliberal preoccupation with consumption and to nurture the individualized consumer subject. Andrews further probes how *uber-sport *normalizes the ideological orientations and associate affective investments of the Trump assemblage’s authoritarian populism. Even as it articulates the regressive politicization of sport, *Making Sport Great Again *serves also as a call to action: how might progressives rearticulate uber-sport in emancipatory and actualizing political formations?
